Better the kludge that does the job than the perfect solution that never leaves the drawing board. <br /><br />As for myself, I'd prefer some sort of cart that can be towed.

There is an article your post brought to mind, probably because I just read it yesterday, called "Collapse Now and Avoid the Rush", with the ironic thing being that article brought YOU to mind! Don't know if a link pasted here will go through, but you and your readers would love the article - google "Archdruid Report" and it will be the first link with the article being under the June 2012 archive. <br /><br />http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2012/06/collapse-now-and-avoid-rush.html<br /><br />The ArchDruid Report, Ran Prieur, and your blog has contributed greatly to me being on my current path of doing that very thing and collapsing NOW instead of waiting for later.

Who do you think designed and manufactured the automation equipment, most of which are unique to the application? Some lose their jobs and others get new ones. The more products made puts more transportation workers and retailers to work.
